So, since sunset times and stuff like that is a huge interest of mine, I thought why not include a bunch of cities in a rather complete list of their natural universal timezones, rather than the ones humanity made up for convience. In effect, the timezones the ancient civilizations went by, purely by the sun. I know when the sun peaks in the sky isn't linear year-round of course, but it's still rather interesting to compare the difference between cities within the same timezone and how different they actually are.
The principle is for those that aren't too familiar.
180 longitudes of course.
24 time zones.
180/24 = 15 longitudes make up a time zone.
60/15 = 4 minutes per individual longitude.
1/4 of a longitude = 1 minute.
This could be calculated down to seconds' level, for example where I lived in Örebro I once figured out was seven seconds ahead of the train station
Either way, I'll start this with some Western European cities and then fill in with Anglosphere cities later, before I assume eventually moving on to places in the rest of the world.
For convinence, the international dateline or 180° E/W is 0.00, whereas London's Greenwich meridian is 12.00, which definitely simplifies this a bit.
So let's go.
